SEAM FOR SEWED ARTICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,574, dated January 24, 1905.

Application filed April 29, 1903. Serial No. 154,880.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, DONALD NOBLE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residingat Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and 5 State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Seams for Sewed Articles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.-

The Object of the invention is to provide a IO bound sewed seam presenting alike finish on opposite sides.

The invention consists of a lapped seam having a binding strip or tape extending longitudinally between the overlapped edges of 5 the fabric of the seam and also along the front or face and the back of the seam, whereby is produced a reinforced seam having like finish on face and back.

In the accompanying drawing, illustrating the invention, the View shows in perspective two pieces of fabric having their edges overlapped flat and bound together. I

The edges of the pieces of fabric 1 and 2 are overlapped either fiat, as shown, or folded,

and the binding strip .or tape 3 is introduced between said overlapped edges and folded over and back upon them, as shown, and then the parts united by two, more or less, lines or rows of stitches 4:, so as to complete the seam.

.well as strips of the same sides, and the edges of the fabric whether raw I or folded are bound in by the binding strip or tape, thus producingasightly seamstrongly reinforced. Such a seam admits of using ornamental binding strips, tapes, or braids, as goods as the fabric ofthe garment.

The seam may be produced by hand or by suitable sewing-machines having appropriate guides for the binding and fabric.

What I claim is Y The herein-described seam for sewed articles, comprising overlapped edges'of the fabric, a binding strip or tape introduced longitudinally between said overlapped edges and having its opposite edges folded over and un derneath said overlapped edges upon opposite faces of the article, and a suitable number of lines of fastenings.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of April, A. D. 1903.

DONALD NOBLE.
